Team Update #19 - "Double Play"
 
http://www2.usfirst.org/2005comp/Upd..._Update_19.pdf

I guess the 3 vs 3 experiment failed. According to this update, the game will be played 2 vs 2 for this weekend's regionals and Championships.

Most of the update just changes the wording of the rules to apply to two robots per alliance as opposed to three. Of particular interest, though:

Why are we making this change?
FIRST's policy has always been to avoid drastic rule changes late in the season. Based on the experience to date at the regionals,however, it has become clear that the previous format didn't lend itself to a high-scoring, offensive game. We feel that this change is in the best interest of teams, sponsors, and especially referees.

Frankly, the 3-on-3 format was all Woodie's idea. But what would you expect from the guy who came up with floppies?

Whoa. It's not April 1 here on the west coast, so you really had me there...until I read the following posts.


Maybe the moderators should hide all replies so that more people get fooled ;)

FIRST changing the game format to 2v2 in the middle of the season :confused: hrm, i doubt it espicially since Woodie was mis-typed and that would be altogether drastic measures for FIRST however wouldn't be cool if FIRST really did change the game in the middle of the season. Another Tipper offer FIRST would not look down upon Woodies Floppies =)

Its only A little after 7am Lol, I have a late opening because a bunch of kids decided to slash school bus tires.How ironic its on April 1st. So I had some time to log on CD and the 1st thing I see when i log in to CD is this. Team Update #19 - "Double Play"- Nice try, almost got me, but then I said why would the game change dramatically at like the end of the season. Have a great April Fools Day, today should be a national holiday and day off from school.

It would have been better if you had it so that when someone clicks on it - it records the amount of people or whatever. ;)

Speaking of George's past April Fool's pranks, lets not forget the time the owner of the Indianapolis Colts bought FIRST. Sorry George, but I saw the post was by you before I clicked on it, and that kinda gave it away that it was a prank. Eh, at least you're quite creative with these things; good for a chuckle.
